room, how did he do? what are you hearing >> democrats are breathing a sigh of relief one democrat told me this performance was a total 10 because the president was strong, because he was energetic, because he took on donald trump within the first four minutes of starting this speech, savannah what are republicans criticizing him on this morning? they say he's too partisan they're not criticizing him for a lack of energy that was the point he took on the age issue head on. >> we saw him taking on the age issue. we're going to talk about economy in a minute. but immigration is a big issue many voters are putting that on the top of the list as the issue they care most about over the economy. and he had some moments there where he kind of tried to say, look, republicans, stop playing politics let's go. >> he's trying to cast republicans as the do nothing congress because they had this bipartisan immigration bill that republican senators praised as being a good deal. but this is significant, savannah, because this is the

type of moment that throws out red meat to the base and appeals to the nikki haley moderate independent voters, so it allows again, i think this will be a rallying cry out on the campaign trail. he's trying to flip the script republicans who have owned the issue of immigration he's trying to headache it as his own. it's always the economy, christine. you are not second fiddle here but it was interesting because there are so many markers that show the economy improving then when you look at consumer confidence, i know it might be trending up right now, but generally, people are not feeling this economy that the president is saying is so much better than where we were. >> and his lowest approval ratings are on the economy yesterday a day when the stock market was hitting record highs, the president was not on wall street the president was at the kitchen table on main street trying to show people, i know you feel

like you have been nickelled and dimed. look, let's talk about tax fairness maybe these people that make $100 million a year or more should be paying a higher tax rate than you are, and he really dug into this, there are two team hs here and i'm on your te. i'm on your team that's what the white house was trying to get him to do because the poll numbers have been so low. one thing that's interesting, in this town, a lot of people were telling me they think that immigration and abortion could be the two really important things that drive people to the ballot box maybe it won't be the economy. maybe this will not be an economy election after all as more time passes, people are feeling a little better about things. >> well, if you look at the structure of the speech, you can see not only what he thinks is most important, but what are his winning issues he started in the defensive democracy abroad then goes directly january 6th election lie saying we have to defend democracy at home and the next item is reproductive rights that shows you where the white house is for 2024. >> absolutely. we have already seen the vice president and the president

talking extensively about this and look at the election results and the mid-terms and special elections all across the country. it has energized the democratic base and democrats have beat expectations on this issue, savannah katie brick in her response tried to take on the issue of ivf, obviously a big issue in alabama, her home state, but this will be a big battleground. >> all right we will continue to speak about it thank you so much. and, of course, kristin will have a lot more reaction from both sides of the aisle and the latest on the 2024 race sunday morning on "meet the press."ist the first day of testimony at the trial of a michigan father charged in connection with his son's school shooting. james crumbley is accused of making threatening statements while in jail. his outside communications now largely cut off, nbc's maggie vespa hoda the courthouse for us. hey, maggie, good morning. >> reporter: hey, hoda good morning

day one of testimony in the manslaughter trial with prosecutors arguing back in 2021, crumbley ignored warning signs his son was struggling with his mental health and failed to secure the gun he used to kill four classmates. the 47-year-old using headphones as hearing aids listened as prosecutors played his frantic 911 call from that day >> i don't know what's going on. i'm really freaking out.g on. i'm really freaking >> we find the defendant guilty. >> crumbley's case comes one month after a jury in this same courtroom found his wife jennifer guilty of the same charges after she testified james was in charge of securing the gun. >> i just didn't feel comfortable being in charge of that it was more his thing. >> crumbley's attorney pushing back. >> james crumbley did not know what his son was going to do. >> reporter: now hearing from the same witnesses, including a

teacher who testified james shot her. >> i could start to feel blood rolling down my arm. >> reporter: the question is whether or not james crumbley will follow his wife's lead and testify in his defense meanwhile, back to those alleged threats, the local sheriff hasn't said who they were against, but it is worth noting that officials have told us in the past james crumbley has not been able to contact directly his wife or son from inside jail they told us the three, this entire time, have been held separately so we are working to learn more about this in the meantime, hoda, court here is set to resume at 9:00 a.m. all right. maggie vespa for us there in pontiac. thank you. a new battle arrested over tiktok a bill that could lead to a nationwide ban is now advancing on capitol hill. this morning a lot of tiktok users are speaking out against

it is 8:36 with your health. march is colorectal awareness month. and craig is in tucson, arizona for something special and near and dear to his heart. >> you're there for the colorectal golf tournament, supporting those battling the disease and their supporters. >> yes, yes. good to see you guys good friday morning. i want to show you the crowd that has gotten up early here in arizona. you all say hello. a few hundred of my closest friends got up early here in arizona because this is a cause, as you mentioned. this is a cause that's dear to me after watching my brother lawrence fight his disease.

now i serve as an unpaid board member to sponsor this segment. in recent years, there has been this disturbing trend of people like my brother getting diagnosed at a young age. so we went to the first of its kind young onset we wanted to see how they are treating younger patients. 41 we got to speak with a 41-year-old woman that's battling the disease, and she gave us quite the lesson in perseverance and strength. like any good teacher, molly has a lesson plan in place there is a rhythm to her days as a kindergarten teacher in the bronx, new york. but physically, something was out of balance for her she had been experiencing fatigue and gastro intestinal problems still she was scheduled to get screened. >> i scheduled a colonoscopy,

but i canceled it three times because i was scared >> when she was finally screened, doctors found tumors. >> i got diagnosed at 40. >> what did you think? >> my first words were, i have a son. and i said, i don't want to die. >> noah, your son, he's a teenager. >> noah, your son, he's a teenager how did you break it to him? >> i went to the doctor. i got diagnosed. i have cancer. and he had a thousand questions. he said, you know what, ma, i have never met a stronger woman than youfter several rounds of o and surgery, the tumors are gone. now and i know you will beat this. >> after several rounds of chemo and surgery, the tumors are gone now she's undergoing preventive chemo in the hopes of being cancer free. she's getting treatment at memorial sloan kettering's young onset center the center was founded six years ago to address the rise in

younger patients with the disease. a recent study found that colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths for men under 50 and the second deadliest for women under 50 this is one of the center's founders what do we know that causes the increase or do we increase or do we know >> the bottom line is we don't really know yet. likely it is something environmental. it is likely something we're all exposed to, whether it's, you know, diet, in the environment or even a combination of these factors. >> reporter: in addition to medical treatments, patients are offered counseling services to deal with questions about fertility, financial losses and how to speak to their young children about their illness the center's twin goals are to remove the disease and prepare

the patient for life as a cancer survivor >> as an oncologist, you are kind of like, well, the cancer is gone. you're cured that's it. that's where it stops and everyone celebrates. and then you are sitting there in the room with the patient, and it doesn't stop there at all. there are cancer survivors because they're a cancer patient. and that carries into their life for the rest of their life. >> raise your hand if you want to share >> she carries on, devoted to encouraging more people to get screened and to making the most of her life. does it change your perspective on life when you get a cancer diagnosis? >> i see things in such a different way. like with my son, with my students, like i see how innocent they are, and i'm like, this is how you have to liveou . just, you know, living life every day. don't take a day for life, you know, like a child just, you know, living life every day. don't take a day for granted

>> amen. and she does not by the way, she has a scan next month that will hopefully show that she is now cancer free. here is my favorite part of the noah her son noah says he wants to go to school to become a cancer doctor by the way, before i send it back to new york, one more time, hey! >> hey >> these guys, a few hundred survivors and caregivers, folks who work with the sponsors here. i mean, it is just -- it's a community no one ever really wants to be a part of, obviously. but once you become part of this family of survivors and caregivers, it is a special bunch. big thanks to all of you who got up early and thank you guys as well carson, you will have to come next year.

we'll play. >> i hope so that story is so important that is so great watching the teenage son recognize her strength. >> craig, hats off to you. this is a beautiful cause that you have dedicated a lot of your >> and golf is alway s
